Chapter 4 Hehehe, Junior Sister probably doesn't want Master to find out that she's secretly practicing the Joyful Union Technique, right?

The System seemed to offer three options, but in the eyes of Lin Xiao, who was capable of investigating a demonic spy to their death, there was clearly only one choice.

As a Destined Great Villain determined to conquer all the Daughters of Luck, hesitating for even a second would be a sign of disrespect toward his identity as a villain.

Lin Xiao calmly stepped out from the shadows and appeared before Ye Qingwan.

Seeing that the newcomer was her Senior Brother, a clear flash of panic flickered in the depths of Ye Qingwan's eyes.

"Se... Senior Brother?"

Ye Qingwan subconsciously clenched her fists, and even her jade-like feet on the prayer mat curled up in tension.

"How did Senior Brother enter so silently?"

"He must have seen me cultivating the Hehuan Technique just now. However, the Joyful Union Sect has been hidden from the world for many years; he probably can't recognize that what I'm practicing is the Hehuan Technique, right?"

Before she could think further, Lin Xiao's voice, tinged with a bit of playfulness, rang out:

"Junior Sister was so immersed in her cultivation that she didn't even notice her Senior Brother coming in."

Ye Qingwan hurriedly stood up and ran to Lin Xiao on her bare jade feet, forcing herself to remain calm as she cupped her hands in greeting:

"Qingwan did not know Senior Brother had arrived and failed to welcome you properly. I hope Senior Brother can forgive me."

Lin Xiao sneered inwardly: 'Don't worry, my dear Junior Sister, I will certainly give you a chance to welcome me through a narrow path.'

He asked knowingly, his gaze casually sweeping over the young girl's budding white jade peaks.

"What Cultivation Technique was Junior Sister practicing just now? I don't recall the Holy Land's Scripture Pavilion having such a peculiar technique that makes one's face flush like peach blossoms."

Ye Qingwan's slender, fair toes gripped the ground tightly.

"In... in reply to Senior Brother, this is just a minor technique for Maintaining Beauty and Nourishing Qi. It's nothing worth mentioning."

At this moment, Ye Qingwan's heart was in her throat. She didn't dare to meet Lin Xiao's gaze, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Seeing Ye Qingwan acting as if she were facing a great enemy while trying to stay calm, Lin Xiao suddenly chuckled and stepped forward to pat her rounded, fragrant shoulder.

"Junior Sister, there's no need to be nervous. Although the Holy Land's rules are strict, they don't forbid Disciples from practicing techniques outside the Holy Land, as long as it's not a Demonic Technique. Besides, I'm not interested in the technique you're practicing."

Hearing this, Ye Qingwan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, secretly feeling lucky that Lin Xiao hadn't recognized she was practicing the Hehuan Technique.

But in the next second, Lin Xiao suddenly changed his tone.

"I may not be interested, but I think Revered Master would be very interested."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qingwan's delicate body stiffened, and her eyes filled with fear.

"Se... Senior Brother, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing that Ye Qingwan wouldn't admit it until she saw the evidence, Lin Xiao smiled indifferently and took out the image projection stone he had prepared beforehand.

As spiritual power was injected, a light screen projected outward.

In the image, the young girl had a blurred expression, surrounded by pink Devilish Qi. It was exactly how one looked while cultivating the Hehuan Technique.

With a smile on his lips, Lin Xiao spoke in a calm tone:

"Revered Master is knowledgeable and experienced. If I were to show her the image of Junior Sister cultivating just now..."

"Does Junior Sister think Revered Master could recognize that what you are practicing is precisely the secret method of the Joyful Union Sect, the Hehuan Technique?"

Ye Qingwan felt her knees go weak, and she slumped powerlessly to the ground.

Her face was deathly pale, her long, slender jade legs were tightly crossed, and her heart felt like a block of ice.

The Primordial Holy Land was a famous sect of the Righteous Path and could not tolerate any impurity.

Ye Qingwan knew that once her practice of the Hehuan Technique was exposed, she would definitely be expelled from the Holy Land.

The blood feud of her exterminated clan would then be impossible to avenge.

Thinking of this, a murderous intent suddenly flared in Ye Qingwan's eyes.

For the sake of her Family's blood feud, she now had to take a risk and step onto the point of no return: silencing him with murder.

As the killing intent rose, a vortex of spiritual power instantly condensed in Ye Qingwan's palm.

As if guessing what Ye Qingwan was thinking, Lin Xiao's mind flickered, and the pressure of the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection was instantly released.

"Foundation Establishment Great Perfection?!" Ye Qingwan's pupils shrank, her eyes full of disbelief.

Although she had known long ago that Lin Xiao's Aptitude was excellent, she never imagined that Lin Xiao could actually Cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection in such a short time.

In a battle between the early stage of Foundation Establishment and the Great Perfection, the chance of winning was almost zero.

"What should I do? It's death either way. It seems I can only fight to the death."

Just as she was prepared to risk everything, Lin Xiao spoke again:

"I believe Junior Sister has also heard about the demonic sect spies infiltrating the Holy Land, right?"

"I can enter Junior Sister's bedchamber without any obstacles. Do you think that would be possible without Revered Master's permission?"

Ye Qingwan's heart went cold. "Could it be that Revered Master has suspected me for a long time?"

Just as she was feeling despondent, she suddenly noticed Lin Xiao staring at her pearl-like jade feet.

Her eyes darted around, and a plan immediately formed in her mind.

Ye Qingwan forced out two tears and began to sob as she spoke:

"Wuwu... Senior Brother has misunderstood Qingwan. Of course Qingwan knows that the Hehuan Technique is a demonic cultivation method and is not tolerated by the Righteous Path."

"But Qingwan has her reasons for doing this."

As she sobbed, she seemingly unintentionally adjusted her posture, exposing her pair of snow-white jade legs to Lin Xiao as much as possible.

This gave Lin Xiao a bit of a headache.

You're using this to test a True Disciple?

Which True Disciple could withstand such a test!

Noticing Lin Xiao's visible reaction, Ye Qingwan continued pitifully:

"Qingwan often hears that many female cultivators in the cultivation world go astray. After practicing this Hehuan Technique, they become addicted to desire, unable to extricate themselves, and eventually end up as cultivation vessels, leading a miserable life."

"Although Qingwan is untalented, I also have a heart for helping the world. Therefore... I wanted to test the law with my own body to find the flaws in this technique and the way to save people, so that I can bring those sisters who have gone astray back to the right path."

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a half-smile.

"Junior Sister actually has such a grand ambition. It seems I was being narrow-minded."

"However, this Hehuan Technique is a Dual Cultivation method. Since Junior Sister has practiced it, how can you guarantee that you can keep your original intention and not be consumed by desire?"

Seeing that Lin Xiao seemed to believe her a bit, Ye Qingwan was overjoyed and immediately struck while the iron was hot.

"Although Qingwan has practiced this method, I am still pure. I can prove my innocence by showing that my primal yin is still intact!"

At the mention of primal yin, Lin Xiao was no longer sleepy!

Although he knew Ye Qingwan's primal yin must still be there, since the other party had invited him so enthusiastically, it would be unreasonable not to conduct a thorough investigation!

In the next second, Ye Qingwan formed hand seals and pointed her jade finger at her brow. A blood-red cinnabar mark slowly emerged, looking exceptionally seductive against her pale skin.

Lin Xiao's mouth twitched slightly as he complained inwardly:

"That's it? I thought you were going to invite me to investigate the truth!"

Lin Xiao took a step forward without showing any emotion and gently helped Ye Qingwan up from the ground.

"So that's how it is. It seems I misunderstood Junior Sister."

As Lin Xiao spoke, he took the opportunity to wrap his arm around Ye Qingwan's slender waist, which could be held in one hand, and pulled her tightly into his embrace.

Ye Qingwan's face was flushed. She hadn't expected the dignified True Disciple of the Primordial Holy Land and the first Disciple of Misty Peak to take advantage of her so openly.

Her budding white jade peaks were compressed and deformed against Lin Xiao's chest.

At this moment, Ye Qingwan's mind was in a mess. She didn't know if she should pretend to be reserved and push Lin Xiao away, or if she should go with the flow and use herself as bait.

While she was struggling internally and hesitating, Lin Xiao had already started measuring her three sizes on his own.

Since there was no measuring tape, Lin Xiao could only reluctantly use his hands for on-site surveying.

"Hmm, the scale is acceptable. Although not as magnificent as Revered Master's, it can still be considered dainty and exquisite, with a promising future."

Lin Xiao commented inwardly, and even subconsciously gave a squeeze, as if confirming the elasticity.

Ye Qingwan's mind went blank. Coming to her senses, she hurriedly pushed away the large hand that was 'climbing the mountain' and stumbled out of Lin Xiao's embrace.

She shielded her chest with both hands, her breathing rapid, her beautiful eyes full of panic and indignation.

"Se... Senior Brother, what are you doing?"

Lin Xiao was not angry. Instead, he slowly raised the hand that had just measured the mountains, covered his nose with it, took a deep breath, and then laughed strangely:

"Jie Jie Jie, Junior Sister wouldn't want Revered Master to find out about her secret cultivation of the Hehuan Technique, would she?"
